Minamoto no Atsuru

Minamoto no Atsuru (933-953) was a mid-Heian warrior of the Saga Genji, great-grandson of the sadaijin Minamoto no Toru and son of the Musashi governor Minamoto no Tsuko. Born at Mita in Adachi District of Musashi, his father's posting, he was known as Mita Genji. He married a daughter of Minamoto no Mitsunaka and died in 953 at only twenty-one.

Watanabe no Tsuna, said to have been his son though his parentage is disputed, is thought to have been born in the same year. The Konjaku Monogatari preserves a tale of his single combat with Taira no Yoshifumi, governor of Mutsu.
